And a culture that values work and academic accomplishment? Must not count for much in your opinion. All humans are very similar in their DNA. Asian accomplishment is due to hard work and a culture that values it. But keep telling white kids they have a genetic disadvantage, no need to get up off the couch and put down the Nintendo.

I know all those arguments. I’m just not convinced.

People with higher IQs create cultures that inspire hard work and accomplishment.

culture that values work and academic accomplishment

There are various academic sub-disciplines which are exploring how genetics shape cultures. That is, how heritable traits effect community development & regulation.

Every generation has its PC; in Galileo's time, it was Copernicus. Today, we have race. In each era, there are legitimate reasons to cling to dogma simply to avoid societal collapse ie the illusion must be maintained.

We can't afford to have 1/3 of our population (Black+Hispanic) simply say they can't compete and quit. Well, a significant percentage do, but it's hardly ever articulated in that fashion.

We must soldier on until a solution is developed.

I see this all the time in my school district.While the white,black and Latino kids seem to see school as a social club and state sponsored dating service,the Asian kids are putting the work in and excelling.
Ominous sign,however.Many Asian kids are seeing ghetto culture as a model and are often sucked into that state of mind due to the teenage need to”be cool”
